Chocolate Peanut Butter Protein Christmas Trees
INGREDIENTS
* 70g chocolate whey protein powder
* 2 tbsp cocoa powder
* 170g smooth peanut butter (regular, not natural works best)
* 5 tbsp whole milk (or reduced-fat if preferred)
* 3 tbsp honey (or maple syrup if you still prefer the flavor)
Chocolate Topping
* 100g dark chocolate (70% cacao or milk chocolate works too)
* 1 tsp butter
INSTRUCTIONS
1. In a large bowl, mix the peanut butter, honey, and milk until smooth.
2. Add the protein powder and cocoa powder and stir until a smooth, thick dough forms.
3. Roll the dough between two pieces of baking paper to your desired thickness.
4. Use a Christmas tree cookie cutter to cut out shapes. Freeze for 30–60 minutes until firm.
5. Break the chocolate into a heat-proof bowl, add the butter, and microwave in short bursts until melted and smooth.
6. Drizzle the melted chocolate over the chilled shapes, making sure to coat the sides.
7. Freeze again for 10 minutes, or until the chocolate is fully set.
